Can't stop won't stop Matt Cassel and his K-Swiss. Come at me bro.

I don't think so. Carry on chasing ghosts.

Who is "nervous?" If EJ kills it on Saturday, I'm pumped that we have 3 QB's who have all had good plays and days. Having a QB competition be close because all 3 QB's have performed well is the best thing this offseason could've yielded.

HC should've been Doug.

First, comparing EJ to Richardson is like comparing apples to watermelons. EJ was a 1st round pick at QB, and Richardson was a 5th round pick at OG. Young QB's are going to have bad games, and its from those bad games that they learn, grow, and develop. Both players were projects, which you actually argue later in your post, so why does their draft status matter? Furthermore, QB drafting has always been inflated. Young OG's also have bad games, and learn, grow and develop soooo... EJ was a known project at QB, and was supposed to ride the bench his first season until vet QB Kevin Kolb ended his career by tripping on a rubber mat!! EJ was from a very successful one read system in college, and any coach with a normal brain should understand the kid needs much more learning time then someone from a pro style college offense! Then not having a veteran QB on the roster for 2013 was almost as stupid as not having a QB coach with three young QB's on the roster. One rookie 1st rounder, one rookie undrafted, one player with a whole two games of experience all being led by an OC with no previous coordinator experience at the NFL level. His sole NFL coaching experience was one season as offensive quality control coach. Okay, but let's go back to Cyril. How much different was his blocking scheme in Baylor compared to the Bills? Quite a bit. He deserves more time to learn, grow and develop as well. Also, Kevin Kolb was the vet QB on the roster in 2013, but he got hurt. You're sorta arguing against yourself here. And Cyril's OC was the same person. EJ didn't start looking bad until the coaches changed the game plan for the Chargers & Houston games. EJ was 2-0 last year until his coaches went pass crazy, and then stopped running the ball after those first two games. Last years offense 579 passes vs 402 rushes while having the 26th offense in yards. Most games last year the coaches were forcing the QB to throw around 40 times, and ran the ball around 20 times. Think about that for a min, as most RB's by themselves usually need around 20 carries to get into a decent rhythm. LeSean McCoy usually had some really good games when given the ball 20 plus times. Speaking of that Fred Jackson was 7 for 33= 4.7 YPC avg against Houston, and yet only saw the ball 7 times. Spiller went 15 for 60 which was still 4.0 YPC avg, and yet the coaches had the inexperienced 2nd year QB throw 44 times that game. Coaches "changed" the gameplan because we were down and you need to throw the ball to score. Also, Houston and SD schemed to dare EJ to throw. He could not. I've read that Leroi stated that EJ was a disaster in that Houston game. EJ was under constant pressure all game, and JJ Watt had a career high nine hits on EJ that game. What the real disaster was in that game was the game plan, and offensive line! Oh BTW that 5th round pick at OG was starting for that game, and was benched for Urbik not long after. At that particular time the Bills were fielding the very worst offensive line in the entire NFL. Five dropped passes by the receivers, and multiple penalties by the O line didn't help in that game. The final score of that game was only 17-23, and the Bills were in that game until the very end. That Houston game was a game the Bills could have won with a better game plan. The Bills had the better RB's, and defense. EJ was a disaster that game. Oh BTW, that first round pick at QB was starting for that game, and was benched for Orton not long after. The score was 17-23 and not 17-16 because EJ threw a pick six. The defense allowed 16 points, we ran the ball for over 100 yards and we lost. I would think that further trying to develop that #1 pick at QB with only 14 games under his belt should be the primary concern here, and hopefully it is! Only if you don't care about the outcome of this current season.

I'd agree that'd make the choice a little harder.

Is it the same source as the last time?

Unless QB suddenly stated playing on the O-line, I think yes.

I sorta liked it, tbh. It encapsulated Marrone being a hardass for sure. Basically, "I don't care if you're trying hard, there are no moral victories," sort of sentiment.

You do realize that HCP's can't control patient behavior, right?

Yeah, but he had one. Flacco is generally above average but can and does waver with poor showings, and games where he plays at an elite level. Tanny is similar in that regard, but he hasn't taken it to the level of 2012 Flacco yet.

Yeah. A few. Unless you think posting "in," or my football takes are an indictment on character.

That's not what I meant. Maybe the post sounds a little misleading.

Maybe you're right, maybe I meant to type "she's probably a gold-digging whore" but I hit the wrong keys. Or maybe you're wrong. And I'm not a soulless monster. Are you so full of pride that you think you're incapable of wrongly judging someone else's character, based on a few posts on a football forum? Interesting. Another lesson.

I thought that those novel parts of the case. The fact that the suit is civil and not criminal (although the statute of limitations makes this still prosecute-able I believe, but so far Rose has not been criminally charged with anything) as well as the allegations coming from an event in 2013, which may have implications into how this case plays out, i.e. no DNA evidence, as well as how this may be perceived by the public/legal system (hard to win a lawsuit without evidence). Neither of these things were in the headline or OP so I saw fit to add them. My history? Am I too mean to EJ Manuel to think that rapists are evil monsters? Maybe I hate women just like I think CJ Spiller sucks at football. Are you having a bad day?

Don't you? Point out where I said the claim was frivolous. Better yet, where I said the pain should go away after 24 months. Or that the accuser "shouldn't bother." Seeing as you're so keen to bring my family into this, maybe I should ask if you'll teach your children to take a breath before attacking from a perceived moral high ground and looking like a !@#$? Fingers crossed.

I hope you never jump to conclusions again, because you're bad at it.

It's novel that the suit is civil and not criminal (although the statute of limitations makes this still prosecute-able I believe, but so far Rose has not been criminally charged with anything) as well as the allegations coming from an event in 2013, which may have implications into how this case plays out, i.e. no DNA evidence, as well as how this may be perceived by the public/legal system (hard to win a lawsuit without evidence). Disclaimer: I think rape is wrong and Rose should meet justice if he is guilty.

Some of the same folks "defending" Incognito have had the same positions for 2 years. Also, is Incognito supposed to be a mind reader? Martin played along in the texts, giving as good as he got, like friends ribb each other all the time in this setting. Sounds like you didn't read the whole story.

Okay, looks like I'm going to have to spell it out. Your argument was that we need new laws, Because the old laws are ineffective. Because of lobbyists. The bolded line is your starting point, with it being clearly incorrect, it invalidates the justification of the other two lines.

Easy to say. How about I vote for a law that takes 4/5ths of your income and gives it to 4 inner city families? Somebody has to suffer for the greater good. You'll get over it.

Wasn't that one thing the crux of your argument and also incorrect?

The "purpose," which is subjective, is irrelevant. Christ, I wish this was on PPP.

Good thing that wasn't the question.
